## 1. Defining "Risky Alcohol Consumption"

| **Term** | **What it Means** | **Typical Thresholds (Adults)** |
|---|---|---|
| **Hazardous / Risk‑taking consumption** | Any pattern that raises the chance of adverse health or social consequences but does not yet reach clinical dependence. | • ≥ 8 drinks/week (women) or ≥ 15 drinks/week (men)
• Binge drinking: > 4 drinks/occasion (women) or > 5 drinks/occasion (men) |
| **Binge / episodic heavy drinking** | A single occasion of alcohol intake that substantially exceeds the usual pattern. | • ≥ 5 drinks on a single day for men, ≥ 4 drinks for women |
| **High‑risk drinking** | Patterns with repeated or prolonged exposure to high doses of alcohol. | • Frequent binge episodes (≥ 3 per month)
• Alcohol consumption that results in health/behavioral problems |

These thresholds are consistent across most guidelines (CDC, WHO, NIAAA). They reflect levels where physiological harm becomes more likely and the risk of acute injury or long‑term disease increases.
